Press Clips February 28, 2021 Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips February 28, 2021 Elliott stops 23 shots in Flyers’ 3-0 win over Sabres By John Wawrow Associated Press February 27, 2021 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Brian Elliott stopped 23 shots to shut out the Buffalo Sabres for a second time this season in leading the Philadelphia Flyers to a 3-0 win on Saturday. The Flyers were spurred by a replenished lineup in which four players returned after spending two weeks in the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol. They included Scott Laughton, who scored a breakaway goal to make it 3-0 late in the second period. Sean Couturier had a goal and assist to extend his points streak to five games, in which he has four goals and five assists, and Shayne Gostisbehere also scored. Philadelphia improved to 3-2-2 in its past seven, and won consecutive games for the first time since a five-game winning streak to close January. Elliott improved to 5-1 this season and upped his career record to 15-2-2 with four shutouts against the Sabres, including a 40-save outing in a 3-0 win on Jan. 19. Elliott chalked up his dominance to opening his career with Ottawa, Buffalo’s traditional Atlantic Division rival. “I have a good feeling obviously when I come in this rink. I wanted to keep that going,” said the 14th-year player now in his fourth season in Philadelphia. He also noted the jump the Flyers showed in having a near fully healthy lineup. “You could feel the energy in the room the last couple of practices here. Everybody’s raring to go,” Elliott said. “It was a lot of tic-tac-toe plays, guys were really wanting the puck out there. That’s good to see from my end.” Sabres coach Ralph Krueger noticed the difference in both teams. “You can see that pretty well through the night they just had a higher level of energy in battles, and we weren’t able to defend the way we wanted to,” said Krueger, whose Sabres were playing their fourth game in six days. “The heart seems to be in the right place but the energy just isn’t there to match that.” The Sabres dropped to 2-6-1 in their past nine and played their second game without captain Jack Eichel, listed as day to day with a lower body injury. Carter Hutton stopped 36 shots starting in place of Linus Ullmark, who will miss at least a month with a lower- body injury sustained in the first period of a 4-3 overtime loss to New Jersey on Thursday. Jeff Skinner’s return to the lineup following a three-game benching didn’t make a difference. The 11th-year forward in the second season of an eight-year, $72 million contract has just one assist in 15 games this season, and now hasn’t scored in 19 games dating to last year. Couturier opened the scoring 14:22 in after teammate Travis Sanheim intercepted Henri Jokiharju’s clearing attempt up the right boards. Sanheim stepped toward the middle and fed Couturier in the high slot from where his shot glanced off the glove of defender Brandon Montour and knuckled in over Hutton’s left shoulder. The Flyers then put the game on ice late in the second period when Gostisbehere, on a partial break up the left wing, and Laughton scored 4:21 apart. Laughton was eager to return after experiencing body aches, headaches and fatigue, with the severest COVID-19 symptoms lasting for two days while he was in protocol. “It was nervous excitement. Nice to have a 1 o’clock game. You wake up right away and you’re right at it,” Laughton said. COVID-19 RETURNEEES Philadelphia’s Jakub Voracek and Oskar Lindblom each had assists in their first game since landing in the COVID- 19 protocol nearly three weeks ago. Justin Braun also returned to the lineup. That leaves Travis Konecny as the lone Flyer remaining on the COVID-19 list after the team had as many as seven players listed as recently as Feb. 17. Buffalo welcomed back defenseman Rismus Ristolainen, who missed seven games after dealing with a severe bout of COVID-19. KRUEGER ON SKINNER A day after citing accountability and team culture as a reason for benching Skinner, Sabres coach Ralph Krueger hoped the player could grow from the experience. “Just build on the conversations we had this week, and on the hard work that he put in in a difficult position,” Krueger said. “Hopefully, this proves to be a good little regroup to launch an excellent rest of the season for Jeff.” Skinner played on a line alongside Riley Sheahan and Casey Mittelstadt. MILESTONES Flyers captain Claude Giroux played in his 904th career game, moving one ahead of Bill Barber and into second place on the team list led by Bobby Clarke (1,144 games). ... Sabres forward Curtis Lazar played in his 300th career game. UP NEXT: Teams complete two-game series in Buffalo on Sunday. Sabres G Ullmark to miss a month; Eichel out against Flyers By John Wawrow Associated Press February 27, 2021 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Sabres starting goalie Linus Ullmark will miss at least the next month with a lower-body injury, leaving Buffalo with one established netminder. Captain Jack Eichel will also miss his second game but remains day to day with a lower body injury, coach Ralph Krueger said before Buffalo hosted the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. Veteran backup Carter Hutton will take over and start both games of Buffalo’s weekend series against the Flyers, with minor league callup Jonas Johansson serving as backup. High-priced forward Jeff Skinner, however, is set to return after being a healthy scratch the past three games. Defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen will play 3 1/2 weeks after testing positive for COVID-19 and spent two weeks in the NHL’s coronavirus protocol. Forward Tobias Rieder will return after missing two games with an upper-body injury. Krueger wouldn’t reveal details of Ullmark’s injury in calling it “a huge loss.” Ullmark was shaken six minutes into a 4-3 overtime loss to New Jersey Devils on Thursday. He continued playing and stopped all 15 shots in the first period and did not return for the second period. Ullmark has a 5-4-2 record and was coming off a 41-save outing in a 4-1 win at New Jersey on Tuesday. Eichel was a late scratch after participating in pregame warmups on Thursday. Skinner’s return comes amid questions of whether he and Krueger see eye to eye while the 11th-year player and seven-time 20-goal-scorer is in the midst of a slump. In the second season of an eight-year, $72 million contract, Skinner has one assist in 14 games this season, and not scored in 18 games dating to last season. “Hopefully, this proves to be a good little regroup to launch and excellent rest of the season for Jeff,” Krueger said. Ristolainen had a severe bout with COVID-19 in which he experienced chest pains and fatigue. He will bolster a blue-line group that lost Jake McCabe (right knee) and Will Borgen (broken right forearm) this past week. Inside the NHL: Birth of Sabres featured as new book tells stories of jerseys, names By Mike Harrington The Buffalo News February 28, 2021 We got our first in-person look at the Sabres' "butter knives" reverse retro jerseys Thursday night. This corner's initial view when they were unveiled in November was a thumbs up. Give them two thumbs up now after seeing them on the ice. The crossed swords chest logo from the 2000s-era red alternates is the main focus. Goat head shoulder patches are a nice touch as is "Buffalo" stripped across the bottom. All within the current royal blue, white and gold color scheme. They're a welcome look, not jarring at all. And a nice ode to the franchise's past. That's much the same feeling expressed by Chris Creamer, creator of Sportslogos.net. The Canadian-based website is considered the gold standard in the sports industry for news and views about logos and jerseys for all sports. "I was surprised they went with that uniform because I almost forgot that existed, but it's a pleasant surprise," Creamer said in a recent phone interview from suburban Toronto. "Retro colors, crossed Sabres logo. Why not bring back from 20 years ago the modernized crossed Sabres logo? I think it looked good. A surprising decision but a good surprise. "For a team that seems to keep struggling with throwing all the way back – it took them so long to finally go back to royal blue because it's clear they want to push forward and the fans clearly wanted to tug them back to the '70s – I feel this was a good compromise. Modern design, retro colors and fans almost automatically like throwback designs." The history of the Sabres' uniforms, of course, is a complicated one. And it's one of several stories Creamer and co-author Todd Radom have tackled in their new book, "Fabric of the Game: The stories behind the NHL's Names, Logos and Uniforms." The 254-page hardcover book is filled with photos and stories of teams past and present. You want the Quebec Athletics of 1919 or the Quebec Nordiques? You can get it. You want the July unveiling of the Seattle Kraken? The book waited for it to get its final chapter in on the NHL's newest team.

  • Postgame Notes & Quotes Philadelphia Flyers 2, Colorado
    Postgame Notes & Quotes Philadelphia Flyers 2, Colorado Avalanche 1 Wednesday, March 28, 2018 The Avalanche wrapped up its two-game season series against the Flyers, going 1-1-0. Colorado ends the 2017-18 regular season with a 19-11-2 overall record against the Eastern Conference, including an 11-4-1 mark on home ice. Andrew Hammond made his Avalanche debut, finishing with 31 saves in his first NHL contest since Feb. 7, 2017. The Avs were 2-for-2 on the penalty kill and are now 110-for-119 (92.4%) on the PK at home this season, the best home penalty kill in the league. With two home games remaining, Colorado is within reach of the NHL’s best-ever home PK percentage, 92.4%, set by the 1998-99 Boston Bruins. Matt Nieto’s second-period tally was his 24th point of the season, his highest total since he collected a career-high 27 during the 2014-15 campaign. Shayne Gostisbehere became the fourth defenseman in Flyers history to reach the 60- point threshold, joining Mark Howe (3x), Garry Galley (2x) and Behn Wilson. Claude Giroux extended his point streak to six games (1g, 9a) and registered his 93rd point of the season, matching a career high he set in 2011-12. Colorado G Andrew Hammond On His Performance: “I was able to get in a game on the weekend so I think that definitely helped. I think it took me a period to get my legs under me. The unfortunate part is I guess the game-winning goal ended up getting scored in that period but as the game went on, I settled in and started to feel better.

An Evaluation Of Draft trS ategy In The aN tional Hockey League Namita Nandakumar University of Pennsylvania Follow this and additional works at: http://repository.upenn.edu/joseph_wharton_scholars Part of the Business Commons Recommended Citation Nandakumar, N.

What Does It Mean To Draft eP rfectly? An Evaluation Of Draft trS ategy In The aN tional Hockey League Abstract We define what it means for an National Hockey League (NHL) team to have been successful in drafting, and use this retrospective framework to determine if any teams exhibited a sustained edge in drafting from 2000 to 2009. At a high level, we compare actual draft outcomes to teams’ perfect draft outcomes. The perfect draft can be thought of as what would happen if a general manager (GM) could redo a draft with complete knowledge of prospects’ career values as well as other teams’ choices. A prospect’s career value is defined here as aggregate Point Shares (from hockey-reference.com ) through the 2015-16 NHL season, though any valuation metric can be used. When drafting perfectly, a GM picks the best player available as is commonly prescribed, but they start with their last pick and work backwards.
